Hello, my name is Chijioke Booker!
Have you noticed your life seems to move without actually being able to take that first step? A cycle that you can't get out of? Is it hard to find people who you can talk to without feeling judge? Do you want to gain understanding and control over your life, your relationships, work, and health?
I work with individuals who want to regain and revive their sense of self in a world where it can feel isolating and alone. I help individuals who struggle with feelings of depression, anxiety, stress or the lost of control over who they are at the core. Together we will identify triggers and coping skills to decrease episodes of depression and anxiety. We will outline self-destructive behavior patterns and recreate roadmaps to avoid repeated unhealthy choices in once life. This is incorporated through talk-therapy and mindfulness techniques help individuals regain balance.
When dealing with areas of conflict within your relationships, issues with attachment/adjustment issues, poor communication, life-transitions or creating a work-life balance therapy is for you. I am here to be your support individuals through this stage in your life. Therapy can be feel overwhelming and scary but it's the right step to revive the essence of who you are. It is a safe place that is designated for you to be authentically you. I will meet you where you are by using evidence-base techniques to help you regain control. It's time to BREATHE!
I look forward to working with you!
Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in western Pennsylvania. I received my master's degree from Westminster College (PA) in 2021 and bachelor's degree from Slippery Rock University in 2018. I currently work as an LPC at a nonprofit outpatient mental health organization during the day, and see clients through Grow during the evenings. I enjoy helping others be the best versions of themselves and watching them be able to overcome life's toughest obstacles.
Hello! I am Donna and I am glad you are here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I achieved my Master of Human Services from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania while also parenting my youngest children who were still at home.
I have experience working with many different age groups and populations, from pre-teen to 80. I have experience with addictions, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and personality disorders. I have worked with individuals and couples.
My primary focus is adjustment disorders, anxiety and forensic referrals for those 18 and older.
I am also willing to work from a Biblical perspective.
I am a licensed professional counselor helping individuals cope with depression, anxiety, and traumatic experiences through the exploration of core yearnings, autonomy, and self-determination.
We will work toward psychological flexibility and resilience. My approach combines mindfulness, acceptance, and commitment to promote lasting change. I'm passionate about guiding you to create a rich, meaningful life, even in the face of difficulties. Let's embark on a journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and committed action, allowing you to lead a life that truly reflects your authentic self.
We will meet weekly or biweekly.
I am inspired by models: person-centered therapy, narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
I am devoted to enacting positive change by connecting with, supporting, and empowering individuals.
Throughout my journey, I have been drawn to people, felt the impact of the human experience, and have learned many lessons along the way. I consider myself a student of life, constantly learning from experiences and people; as I continue to draw breath, I will continue to learn. Perhaps the most poignant lesson I have learned thus far, is each person has the inherent power to create and live the life of his/her choosing. Your perfect life can only be designed by you.
There is nothing so great or powerful as the human spirit. The ability to heal, replenish, resist, and calibrate is indicative of an innate wisdom that propels an individual toward the ongoing and persistent pursuit of harmony. As humans, we are comprised of an intricate network of complex systems working individually and collectively to create, maintain, and restore balance whenever necessary. The self in all of its innate wisdom knows and therefore seeks whatever is necessary to achieve perfect alignment. It is my mission to assist you in promoting your personal wellness by inspiring wholeness.
I strongly believe each person deserves to experience consistent and eternal joy while living a meaningful life with purpose. Life experiences, perceptions, and relationships often create obstacles and blockages disrupting that. I work with people to restore personal alignment empowering the individual to operate from a place of wholeness.
I am honest and authentic. I am a critical thinker whose open-mindedness enables me to accept each person and recognize distinct value. I am a staunch believer, you are the expert of you. We partner in a collaborative approach, you as expert and me with expertise. I see individuals as people with identities, characteristics, challenges, and experiences. I use labels only to elicit awareness and understanding and not to identify or categorize. I am honored for the opportunity to meet and work with you.
YOU DESERVE A SAFE SPACE TO PROCESS YOUR EXPERIENCES WITHOUT JUDGEMENT!

Welcome~ I'm Genevieve.
First of all, I commend you for taking the first step in taking care of your mental health. Especially if this is your first time exploring therapy, it might feel confusing, overwhelming, or nerve-racking. However, once you find the right fit, I hope you feel empowered in the steps you've taken to better take care of yourself.
My goal is to provide a safe, judgement-free space for you to feel heard and understood as you explore challenges related to racial identity, particularly if you identify as Asian, Asian-American, or as a Person/Woman of Color. Oftentimes, our lived experiences as POC (People of Color) can include stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict and trauma. I focus on helping you get in touch with what's no longer serving you or keeping you stuck, and collaborate in figuring out how to live a life that feels fulfilling, hopeful and aligns with your values.

Hi! I’m a licensed professional counselor and board-certified art therapist located in Pennsylvania. I have been practicing for five years in a variety of settings including out patient, inpatient, and residential treatment centers.
As an art therapist and licensed professional counselor, I believe in the power of mindfulness, creativity, and practical skills to help clients build confidence, align with their values, and foster a healthier relationship with food, mind, and body.

My name is MaryAnn Emmerling and I have been a therapist for many years, working with adults who have a variety of emotional issues. My experience includes helping people with trauma, anxiety and panic, depression, relationship issues and childhood abuse. I also have experience with family issues, work stress and relationship conflicts. I have a master’s degree in counseling, am licensed and I am also a Nationally Certified Counselor. I also authored a self-help book on anxiety and panic.
Taking care of your emotional health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. Sometimes there is a barrier when someone considers therapy because they feel self conscious or fearful about what it means to be in therapy, so they suffer unnecessarily. Taking that first step is not easy. But clients have told me that the healing process began when they took that first step in seeking help and support for their emotional issues.
The type of therapy I offer depends on your own individual needs. Often called Eclectic or Integrative, this type of therapy is tailored to your specific issues.
Let's work together to find the answers you need to live a better life!

I help individuals of all ages who are seeking support, develop and move toward goals to improve their lives and increase joy. I hope that through working together you can achieve your individualized therapy goals and feel satisfied with your life.
I believe that a holistic approach to mental health is the most lasting way to approach therapy. I enjoy working with individuals to explore their feelings to come to a place of acceptance and self-compassion. My areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma. All of us have things in our lives that didn’t cause the trauma but trigger it. I can help you overcome these triggers.
I am passionate about educating people about “small t trauma” and “big T trauma,” because so often individuals don’t even recognize traumatic experiences as significant because “they could have had it worse.” "Little t traumas" are experiences that leave someone feeling hopeless. They are distressing events that can be beyond a person’s ability to cope, although they do not necessarily cause life-threatening or bodily-threatening outcomes. Some examples of "little t traumas" can include; infidelity, divorce, legal trouble, grief, interpersonal conflict, bullying, financial difficulty, chronic stress, living in an unsafe environment, or feeling unloved, worthless or unimportant. "Big T traumas" are the types of traumas that are deeply disturbing, life-threatening events or situations. some examples of these are being the witness to or victim of; violent crimes, abuse, war, natural disasters, serious car accidents, or death. Working through trauma is hard, it is often life-long, but it is worth it. I can help you live your best life, regardless of your trauma history.
I am honored to work with all types of individuals. I strive to live an examined life and to continue to learn and better myself, to best impact the world around me. I know from my personal and professional experiences that we must have good habits firmly in place or bad habits will take over. I aim to educate and empower my clients within a safe, inclusive and nonjudgmental environment.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, issues with substance abuse, or relationship issues, I'm here to help.
Seeking treatment can be difficult, but if you've already taken this first step in searching for a therapist then you've likely already identified that this is something you can benefit from with the right help. If you've been reading this far and I seem like a good fit for you, let's work together!

Hello! My name is Max Croteau and I have had the pleasure of being a licensed professional counselor for almost 10 years now. In this time, I have been able to mold my style of understanding, accepting while also challenging and motivational into a successful model of growth and change for those who choose to work with me. I truly am a believer that therapy can sometimes be a side-by-side process, or it can be a process where one guides and the other follows, but ultimately the choice is up to you. I don’t want you to live a life that I tell you to live. I want to help you find a life that is truly a genuine fit for yourself and one that you can see yourself living without even having to think about it. I’ve specialized in addiction, OCD, trauma therapy, family and couples counseling and various other topics in the world of mental health. One important factor that I have found is that each person has their own individual story and their journey will be just as individualized. No matter how similar, we are all different. A cookie cutter approach to the rest of your life is not something that you will get from me. I will truly meet you where you are and work with you every step of the way to achieve the success that you are looking for. I always guarantee every person I work with that therapy may not be easy, but in the end, it will be incredibly worthwhile. I’d love to start and/or continue that journey. Growth has no final destination, just the journey. It’s up to you what path you’d like to take.

I care and I am invested in every person who comes to me for therapy sessions. My goal is to see my clients develop a happy and wholesome life.
I have worked in the treatment since i was 36 and have 35 years of experience. My early experience was in the drug and alcohol and relapse prevention field. During that time i attended the Gestalt Institute in Cleveland, Ohio where I took 4 years of intense training. This lead me to find that therapy is not a method for me to figure out the client but a means for the client to gain greater self-awareness in facing their own life aspirations and struggles. I place focus on clients’ somatic awareness, especially breath, so being more in their body so they can try on new physical and intellectual styles in facing their world. I have a lot of knowledge about what is called the 12 step process and have melded together spirituality and religion in my own life. Prior to being a counselor/ therapist i taught school, painted steel bridges and other structures, and was a machinist at a large steel company, that like the many in our area have since closed their shops.

The therapeutic alliance is at the heart of my work, recognizing that a strong, trusting relationship between therapist and client is crucial for healing and change.
With me, clients are guided on a journey of self-discovery, equipped with practical tools and insights to navigate life’s challenges. Through collaboration and empowerment, I help clients move towards a future of resilience, fulfillment, and well-being.
